New Patterns

I have two new patterns coming soon: You can pre-order them today on our website.

Sew Fun: Baby S'mores Quilt & Plushie
It’s a beginner-friendly, classic Rail Fence design made up from bumpy corduroy, soft minky and silky satin layers… with a matching “marshmellow” blanket pal for babies to cuddle…. It’s completely adorable.
The pattern includes instructions for the Quilt, and the Plushie (inc. pattern sheet for Plushie parts) as well as special instructions on various appliqué stitches (needed to make the Plushie face) and other useful stitches for making this Quilt. The pattern also includes a section of Special Tips for working with the varying textures and different fabrics that comprise this quilt. These tips are especially helpful for quilters who are used to working typically with only quilting cottons.

Handmade Dress: Miss Mary 6m-4yr and 5-12yr.

Pleating Dowel's

Do you own a Pleater? Do you have a Pleater Dowel? If not, you need one!

Let me tell you, why!

A pleater dowel is a device used by smockers to feed fabric through a pleater. The dowel is covered in fabric which holds the fabric firmly in place.

The pleating dowel fits Amanda Jane and Read Pleaters. There is a different size for each pleater. The dowels are 12" (16-row), 15" (24-row), and 18" (24 and 32-row).





Do you use a pleater and find holding your fabric difficult or use another similar device but still find holding the fabric in place difficult? The pleating dowel is the device for you. I assure you will find the pleating dowel a must have for your ease and comfort in pleating. The perfect piece of pleats!

Winter is Back

I was starting to wonder if we would ever be seeing snow again in Bend, Oregon? I was in Portland, Oregon last week and they have their bulbs and flowers popping out of the ground. Wow!

Have you had a chance to Pre-order the new Portabellopixie patterns? I am expecting their arrival mid-February (or earlier). I also hope to have "Ruffle Pants" in stock again very soon.....in fact, if you are the one who was planning a class I can get you the pattern minus the booklet.

Coming Soon

Portabellopixie "Saturday Skirts", "Sway Pants", "Petal Skirt", and "Strawberry Skirts" coming soon

ModKid Boutique: Doll patterns and Garment bag

Pre-Order now......Easter and Spring will fast be approaching and you will want your store to be fully stocked with all these fabulous new patterns.

Changes on the Horizon

I've uploaded the three new Portabellopixie patterns to our website. You can now pre-order.

Will It Ever Snow in Bend, Oregon?

I understand the Eastern half of our Country is freezing. On the West Coast we are experiencing unseasonably warm weather and the days are getting longer. Which means Spring is fast approaching. Woo Hoo!

I am adding a new pattern line "Sew Blessed Designs" to our collection. The first pattern "Pleated Skort" is available now for pre-orders. I hope to have the patterns in stock by the end of the week or early next week.
